"But we have seen it all. We saw it in 2003, we saw it in 2015, or don’t you know that they used federal might in 2015? In 2015, with federal might, we defeated them. It was you people that God used then, and in 2019, with those who have come to join us, we will defeat them again," he added.

Adeola said those making the calls to override the president’s veto did not have the interest of Nigerians at heart as they were not bothered about the success of the 2019 general elections.
